Q: what's the return policy?
A: please view studio alden's return policy here.

A: currently, studio alden is an online-only shop, but I would love to have a physical store one day.
Q: do you offer wholesale pricing for retailers?
A: no, studio alden does not currently offer wholesale pricing. as I do not have my own kiln and wheel and do not make ceramics full-time, I am not equipped to meet wholesale demands at this time. however, I appreciate your interest, and I'm here to assist you with any other inquiries or questions you may have.
Q: can I request gift wrapping for my order?
